Quincy Jones Dead At 91
Music-world legend Quincy Jones, arguably the greatest producer in all of pop history, has died. Jones is obviously most famous as Michael Jackson’s chief collaborator in the era when Jackson took pop stardom to unseen heights, and that alone would earn mythic status for Jones. But Jones’ legacy runs much deeper than that, and his figure casts a vast shadow over decades of jazz, soul, pop, and film-score music. The Associated Press reports that Jones passed away at home on Sunday, surrounded by family. No cause of death has been reported. Jones was 91.
